Richard Beckman: Outside the Curve of Reason

Event Type:

Exhibition

Facility:

Contemporary Art Museum

Presented By:

USF Institute for Research in Art

Description:

This exhibition features sculptures by Richard Beckman (1957-2004) from Florida collections. Beckmanís organic and geometric forms in human scale investigate the dynamic balance between
mind and body, and the synthesis of this duality through materials and process. Exposing the ambiguity between the inner and outer, order and chaos, positive and negative, Beckmanís work,
when grouped together, creates unique relationships and dialogues between the forms as bodies. Richard Beckman was an Associate Professor of Art at USF College of The Arts from 1991 to 2004
and received national recognition for his exhibitions in New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Curated
by Sarah Howard, USF Institute for Research in Art; organized by USF Contemporary Art Museum.
